Dark Half by Stephen King

Creating George Stark was easy. Getting rid of him won’t be . . .

The sparrows are flying again. The idea – unbidden, inexplicable – haunts the edge of Thad Beaumont’s mind.

Thad should be happy. For years now it is his secret persona ‘George Stark’, author of super-violent pulp thrillers, who has paid the family bills. But now, Thad is writing seriously again under his own name, and his menacing pseudonym has been buried forever.

And yet . . . the sparrows are flying again, and something is terribly wrong in Thad Beaumont’s world.

Thad Beaumont and the town of Ludlow, Maine thought the glamorous writer ‘George Stark’ was dead and buried. A killing spree forces them to think again.

About the Author: Stephen King has been described by the Guardian as ‘one of the greatest storytellers of our time’, by the Mirror as a ‘genius’ and by The Sunday Times as ‘one of the most fertile storytellers of the modern novel.’ In 2003, he was given the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives with his wife, the novelist Tabitha King, for most of the year in Maine, USA.
